A FARMS Field report from Haiti


Imagine making less than a few dollars a day and dealing with these prices.

"Food prices are off the charts. It costs 5.5 haitan dollars for a cup and a half of uncooked rice. Six Haitian dollars for a cup and a half of beans. Gasoline is over $7.00 U.S. a gallon. Cooking oil is over $50.00 Haitian dollars a gallon. Diesel fuel is over $4.00 U.S. a gallon which is closer to U.S. price, I guess. It is getting harder every day for the Haitians to live. PRAY."
